1. Intel Turbo Boost Technology maximum single-core turbo frequency (GHz). Intel turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/tuboboost for more information. 2. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS, and op erating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information. 3. The Intel Core Utilities bundle includes Intel Integrator Assistant, Intel Integrator Toolkit, Intel Express Installer and Intel Express Bios Update. 4. WARNING: Altering PC memory frequency, voltage and/or latency may: (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system, memory and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the memory beyond its specifications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the mem ory, including if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose. Check with memory manufacturer for warranty and ad ditional details.

5. System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration and operating system. 6. Intel High Definition Audio requires a system with an appropriate Intel chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers, and speakers. For more information about Intel HD Audio, refer to www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm. 7. 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a proces sor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See http://developer.intel.com/ technology/ intel64/index.htm for more information.
